October 6 – 8, 2017“Acrylics on Fiber”Jacqueline SullivanIn this 3-day workshop Jacqueline Sullivan, a mixed media, acrylic and calligraphic artist, uses her treasure box of acrylic techniques as surface design on fabric.

Students will learn about fabric mediums, fluid acrylics and high flow acrylics, and how to preserve the hand of the fabric as well its wash-ability and sew-ability. Jacqueline has been teaching workshops for art retreats, and art and calligraphy guilds in the US and Canada, for over 30 years. She has published technique articles in Somerset Studio, Cloth Paper Scissors, Pages, and Astarte’s Mega-Zine.
